Brandi Peetz

City: Spokane Valley, WA
Her words: “Experience really matters. When I first got elected, I had a lot of skills and background that helped me get through, but, ultimately, nothing can replace experience. Unless you’ve been a council member, no matter how much you get involved, you just don’t know what goes on behind the scenes and how much of a job it really is.”
Her pitch: “The reason I’m running for re-election is because I believe our city deserves good representation. I feel like I am doing a really good job, and I want to continue, because it’s important – especially since our city is getting bigger – that we continue going in a positive direction.”
Education: Earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and sociology from Gonzaga University and an associates degree from Spokane Community College.
Political experience: Has served on the Spokane Valley City Council since 2017. Former vice president of student government at Spokane Community College.
Work experience: Former office manager for Stahl Optical. Was a 911 operator and program support specialist at Greater Spokane Substance Abuse Council. Served on the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office’s Citizens Advisory Board.
Family: Married to Chad Peetz.
